Did I mention that I put a lot of time and effort into prepping these digital radio programs? Yeah, I did... I sorely miss playing vinyl records, but I'm glad to jump through the technical hoops necessary to keep bringing you great Saturday night radio...

Thank-you Wally! Sorry we can't co-host in the studio the way we have been over the past several Funding Drives... it'll happen again, though

7:18 PM, October 24th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
We're at an awesome $20,200+ already in this Funding Drive, only 36 hours in... great start, and we need to build on that... stimulate momentum now with a hit on that Donate Now button!

Jeb
Donated, and did the pull down menu to find Volume Contrast Brilliance as a program to "support". Worth it for another year.

7:36 PM, October 24th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Jeb, Thank-you... for the support this year, but also for every year since there's been a Funding Drive, all of which I suspect you've been around for! Next week, The Fog will lift (off)

7:39 PM, October 24th, 2020
Jeb
I have to confess, I probably didn't donate for the 3 years while living in the southern US. Thanks, re The Fog.

7:42 PM, October 24th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Probably a lot you didn't do in the 3 years you lived in the southern US... but plenty you did was highly memorable, especially live music

7:46 PM, October 24th, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Thank-you all who donated during this program. Those of you who did, but didn't self-identify in the Comments will be thanked at the onset of next week's program. Cheers

Steve Kirkland (host)
As will you all...

Hey Steve, glad to help out! I'll do a little arm-twisting out here in Radioland to see if I can get anyone else on the bandwagon.
